2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY DIE WITHOUT WARNING. ALL POWER STEERING/BRAKES ARE LOST. IT WILL RESTART IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS AN ONGOING, BUT RANDOM PROBLEM. THE ONLY CODE THAT IS RECORDED REFERS TO THE IGNITION RELAY MODULE. TO DATE THE EGR, IGNITION RELAY MODULE, AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS PROBLEM REPRESENTS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE, AS A LOSS OF POWER WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC COULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMMANDER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND RESUME IN OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWENTY TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE PRIMARY CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY INFORMED THERE WAS NOT A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER THAT I HAVE HAD FOR LESS THEN A YEAR HAS BEEN GIVING ME ISSUES FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN THE GEARS WILL LIGHT UP AND VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, IT WILL LOSE ALL POWER AND SHIFT LIKE THE TRANS IS SLIPPING, AT ONE POINT I WAS GOING ACROSS TRAFFIC WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND IT STALLED LUCKY FOR ME THERE WAS NO OTHER CARS COMING MY WAY. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS PROBLEM AND SEEMS LIKE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, WHY IS THIS NOT BEING RECALLED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET REAR ENDED FROM THIS ISSUE. *TR

BEGINNING IN OCTOBER 2009 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 36K ON IT THE ENGINE STALLED ONCE. I THOUGHT MAYBE GAS OR SOMETHING....THEN TWO MORE TIMES IN OCTOBER WHILE STOPPED. GETS WORSE BY THE WEEK UNTIL IT IS ACTUALLY STALLING WHEN DRIVING AT 60MPH.....HAVE HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS AND STILL WILL STALL. THIS IS 2012 AND SINCE IT ALL BEGAN I HAVE FILED 2 CASES WITH CHRYSLER, ON THE FIRST GO ROUND, THEY THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT AND AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER IT BEGAN TO STALL. MY DAUGHTER, 6 YEARS OF AGE, IN THE CAR AND I AM TAKING HER TO SCHOOL AND THE ENGINE STALLS AND WE ALMOST WERE HIT BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 55 MPH, IF THAT VEHICLE DID NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY IT WOULD HAVE DIRECTLY HIT WHERE MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING. SHE BEGAN TO CRY AND SHE WILL NO LONGER RIDE IN THE COMMANDER. WE ARE ALL AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT HAS STALLED ON US I KNOW OVER 100 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 YEARS. I HAVE BEGGED CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. I LOVED MY COMMANDER I HAVE HAD SEVERAL JEEPS AND THIS IS SO UPSETTING. CHRYSLER SEEMS TO DENY THEY HAVE ANY CLUE OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH 2007 COMMANDERS AND I SEE SEVERAL POSTINGS ON THIS WEBSITE ALONE OF THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE MAKE THEM STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND OWN UP TO THIS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR SOMEONE. I WILL NEVER BELIEVE IT IS ACTUALLY FIXED AND THEY MAKE US DRIVE IT UNTIL IT SO BAD THAT THEY CAN MAKE IT STALL. IN THE MEAN TIME, WE ARE IN DANGER DAILY. PLEASE HELP US AND ADVISE US HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE AND INTO A SAFE ONE FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. IN SEPTEMBER 1, 2009 TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE ENGINE LIGHT, ACCELERATION SLOW OR STALLING,CAR SHAKING AND TRANSMISSION CLUNKS INTO GEAR. I HAD 48,286 MILES AT THAT TIME. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND CODES P0430 & P0420 (CATALYTIC CONVERTER EFFICIENCY FAILURE. DEALERSHIP REPROGRAMMED PCM AND STATED THIS CLEARED THE CODES. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP 09/18/2009 ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A SOPCAT CONVERTER AND 2 OXYGEN SENSOR. MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN 02/2012 WITH SHAKING, RIDING ROUGH, WHILE DRIVING STALLING , ACCELERATING UP OR DOWN. DEALERSHIP REPLACED PCM, SAME DAY GETTING CAR BACK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY. NOW THEY STATE ITS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW MY WARRANTY IS OUT. I ALREADY PAID OUT FOR PCM NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BACK IN 09/2009. BOTH THE PCM & CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS AN ISSUE BACK IN 2009 AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED THEN. NOW I HAVE TO PAY OUT ALL THIS MONEY. I THINK ITS A RECALL. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP, FRONT RIGHT BALL JOINT FAILED CAUSING LOWER CONTROL ARM TO PIVOT DOWNWARDS WITH WHEEL ATTACHED. VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP RESTING ON WHEEL WHICH WAS NOW FACING DOWN. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT 40MPH MY 2007 JEEP COMMANDER LOST POWER ACCELERATOR WOULD NO RESPOND THE SERVICE PARK ASSIST MESSAGE CAME ON AS DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALL THE GEAR INDICATORS IN THE DASH LIT UP. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MORE MILES AND IT DID IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY JEEP DEALER AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND FOUND IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND I JUST HAD TO PAY $1,329.59 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS LUCKY I WAS DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS AS IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED ON THE 2006 COMMANDER AND JEEP RECALLED THEM AND THERE ARE THE SAME NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2007 WHY IS IT THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO HAVE THEM CORRECT THIS. *TR

THE 2007 JEEP COMMANDER'S ENGINE AND POWER SHUT OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROX 65 MPH) ON I-95. THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WERE NOT OPERATIONAL. MY WIFE HAD TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC TO STOP THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE KEY WAS NOT BUMPED OR TOUCHED WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE DID RESTART AFTER COMING TO A STOP. *TR

I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN I ACCELERATED MY VEHICLE IT STALLED AS I WAS ROUNDING A CORNER. MY ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH. THE PRND LETTERS ON THE DASH ALL LIT UP AND THE SCREEN READ SERVICE PARK ASSIST. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE ALL THE LETTERS LIGHT UP AND IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. I CAN USUALLY TELL WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IT TENDS TO STRUGGLE ON ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES IT WILL KICK BACK AND THEN LETTERS LIGHT UP. REALLY ANNOYING WHEN IT HAPPENS 4-5 TIMES A DAY. OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS AS I'M GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND HAVE TO BRAKE FAST DUE TO STALL. VERY DANGEROUS!! *TR
